And you will work closely with Business Practices and Cloud Economics team to establish programmatic ways to drive more scale of adoption via constructs and a nomenclature (e.g. ITIL) that make sense for Enterprise customers and the business. The ideal candidate will possess a business and IT background that enables them to drive an engagement and interact at the highest levels of large Enterprises.
